Marcus Mac Conghail - Iníon An Fhaoit' ón nGleann - Sep-07

A love song from Glyn, Waterford/Tipperary.

Siúil, a chuid, bí ag gluaiseacht gan scíth, gan stad, gan fuarú,
(Tá) an oíche ghairid shamhraidh ann is beam araon ar siúl,
Mar a bhfaighimid radharc ar chuanta, ceol, aoibhneas, bailte móra,
Is a Chríost, nach ró-bhreá an uain í d'iníon an Fhaoit' ón nGleann.

Táimse (Tháimse) lán de náire, trí (tré) gach beart dá ndearna,
Mar is buachaill óg a chráigh (crádh) mé is d'imigh uaim mo ghreann.
Ní beo mé (dom) mí ná ráithe mura bhfaighe mé póg is grá uait,
Agus fáilte chaoin ó do chairde, a iníon an Fhaoit' ón nGleann.

Dá mbeinnse lá breá aerach im' shuí ar bhinn an tslé' 'muigh
An lón dubh is an cheirseach ag seimint os mo cheann;
Is deas mar a scríobhfainn véarsa 's ní deise ná mar do léifinn
Stair dod' mholadh féinig, a Iníon an Fhaoitigh,
a Iníon an Fhaoitigh,
a Iníon an Fhaoit' ón nGleann.

Is, a Dhia, nach ró-bhreá an uain í d'iníon an Fhaoit' ón nGleann.

Bhí mé lá breá aerach i mo shuí ar bhinn an tsléibhe amuigh
Sea chuala an lon is an chéirseach ag seinm os mo cheann;
Is deas a scríobhfainn bhéarsaí is ní deise ná mar léifinn
Stair do do mholadh féinig, a iníon an Fhaoit' ón nGleann.

I've just fallen in love with Irish Gaelic singing; this man has a beautiful voice...

[nekert]

Precioso. Cuanto arte y sentimiento.

Great singer

[shamrock4500]

wow, hes identical to my brother, lovely voice

[angelabinu]

Lovely to listen to. A fine singer.

[tydodge]

God bless the stubborn Celts for keeping there history and music alive.

[bnsnush]

@bb3ca201 I've just fallen in love with the man.

[EverythingZen14]

I heard Liam O'Maonlai sing this one, but I didn't hear the microtones. I like this version much better, and suspect it's probably more true to the original.

[EverythingZen14]

I love this particular song. Wow! I think I hear the use of microtones, which until I've only heard in Eastern and Middle Eastern music and really, really ancient western stuff. I love the color the microtones contribute to the song, its so rich.

[animalunaris]

It has some surprising (given the dialect is from the South) similarities to Scottish Gaelic, e.g. 'tha' instead of 'tá', also iníon is pronounced more like 'nighean'.

[stcefce]

Oh I'm not learning in a school or anything, I've just been working with a friend of the family who is from Sligo, so I guess that's Connaught. Mostly just messing around and learning by ear. But you're right, I guess dialects are different.

[lughlamhfhada]

@stcefce Well, Munster Irish is somewhat different from what you learn at school... ;-)) Nonetheless, his pronunciation is perfect.
